What it reported doing in 2024

PHYSICAL/EVERY DAY NEED SUPPORT - We send clothing and related needs on a weekly basis throughout the Balkans, via ship and air. These items are sent or taken to specific places and/or specific people for their needs and for distribution to others. For example, a box may be shipped to a hospital for distribution among children and/or needy adults. The greatest distribution is among refugees from different countries, including nations from the former Soviet Union and the Province of Kosovo. Thousands of pounds of clothing have been distributed among the people of the Balkans, including refugee Armenians, Kurds, Romanian, Turks, Russians and Ukrainians. In addition to clothing, funds are supplied especially among refugees and the elderly for their rent and heating fuel in the winter.We also provide nurturing and care for special need children who are not accepted in society.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
